Art Collector (formerly Australian Art Collector) is a quarterly art magazine. It primarily covers Australian contemporary and Indigenous art and also features New Zealand and international artists.
Publication
The magazine is best known for its annual feature 50 of Australia's Most Collectable Artists, which is referenced by other sources and collectors.[1][2] For a decade the list was compiled by a panel of industry experts, but since 2009 the list has been voted on by magazine subscribers.[3]
Art collectors featured in the magazine have included Simon Mordant, Corbett & Yueji Lyon (Lyon Housemuseum), John Kaldor and Colin & Elizabeth Laverty.
History
Art Collector was launched in 1997 in Sydney, Australia. Shortly after its foundation the magazine was briefly in the news when text from one of its articles was used without acknowledgement by art critic Robert Hughes, when writing for Time magazine.[4]
In 2009, Art Collector published its first Guide to Indigenous Art Centres. In the same year it also published the Guide to Public & Regional Galleries and the Collector's Guidebook, a directory of services for art collectors.
In 2012, Art Collector published the third edition of the Guide to Indigenous Art Centres, which featured stories on ethically sourcing Indigenous art and how to be certain of provenance. The fourth edition of the guide will be released in late 2013.
